What I hear, 'Whinge, whinge... something about dust... whinge, whinge'
I dont play dust, i play eve, but what they are achieving with dust is unique, adding to eve in a way no-one has done in another game. Its an awesome concept and gives even more depth to the eve universe.

Hope the update goes smoothly for CCP.

I have EVE account not DUST !

Why am I penalized for a baby game as Dust ?


We are deploying DUST to TQ and parts of what we are deploying today are features that both games share. Such as Planetary Conquest.

I understand what everyone is saying. And I appreciate the posts explaining. As I did not know that Dust was directly linked to EVE. I thought it was a separate thing, using the EVE name and assets
Thank you for correcting me on that

I dont think players see what dust has done for eve as a whole. Look at how the player base has increased over the last year and tell me dust doesn't matter to you, cause because of dust you have plenty of newbs to pew pew.

They still might need some time to test it all works.

Edit:

Also, i've heard players in jita saying how they started playing DUST and wondered what EVE was all about, so they started an EVE account.

And that is what is ultimately going to be paying for Dust :P

When we get screwed with extended downtime due to Dust could you guys at least start the downtime earlier instead of making it longer on the backend?

The level of crying in this thread is pretty high, DUST and EvE are on the same server, and share a few features, more to come. So expect this to happen often, dust players will have to deal with EvE related down times as well.
